<p>It seems like everyone seems to have their own idea about how to study for critical reading. </p>
<p>I've heard that you should get a couple study guides or sat books to study, but have not heard a strong opinion on any one in particular</p>
<p>If you were to suggest one sat book to help for critical reading (minus the blue book, which is practically a given) what would it be?</p>
<p>i liked barrons verbal</p>
<p>The Official Collegeboard Blue Book.
i've learned a vlabualbe lesson - don't even bother looking at other books (exception direct hits for vocab).</p>
<p>invest all your time into collegeboard material.
if someone wants to ellaborate on the online thing though, that'd be great. I myself don't fully know what that is.</p>
<p>^ The online is basically a rehash of the 10 REAL SAT's in terms of CR since it takes CR passages directly from that book. In terms of Writing/Math, it's different...and slightly harder in my opinion. The essay grading is completely inaccurate for the online course so don't rely on that. It gives you a score according to your word count.</p>
<p>isn't that how the essay is normally graded? score based on word count? ;)
Just playing, but is it worth it to do the online tests afterwards? How many tests is it?</p>
<p>@King...: But where do you get detailed answers and explanations for review purposes?</p>
<p>I think there are 7 online tests.</p>
<p>is the collegeboard online course helpful? I'm weak on CR.</p>
<p>bump bump bump</p>
<p>the online course is only good for the tests. nothing else.</p>
<p>Anyone can answer me where we can obtain a reliable, comprehensive collection of answers and explanations to the practice tests in CB' s Official Guide book?</p>
<p>Test</a> Masters Bookstore</p>
<p>2nd one down</p>
<p>There are sticky topics to the answers & explanations of BB questions in this forum.</p>
<p>Yet these topics are just arbitrary (aren't they?) and NOT official.</p>
<p>any suggestions other than the official collegeboard stuff?</p>
<p>Kaplan CR workbook. It does wonders.</p>
